The Opportunity

AlignityX is partnering with a leading enterprise technology organization to identify a Senior Consultant, Technical to join its Public Sector consulting team in McLean, Virginia.

This is an opportunity for a technically strong, client-facing consultant who thrives at the intersection of technology, problem-solving, and customer impact. You will work directly with customers to understand complex business challenges, design thoughtful technical solutions, and lead implementations from discovery through delivery.

This is not a role where you simply hand requirements to an engineering team. You will be close to the technology, close to the customer, and accountable for helping turn complex needs into solutions that work.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Consultant, you will take ownership of key workstreams throughout the full implementation lifecycle while serving as a trusted technical partner to customers.

You will:

• Lead technical workstreams across complex enterprise implementations

• Partner directly with customers to understand business challenges, requirements, and desired outcomes

• Translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions

• Design, configure, test, and deploy enterprise applications

• Work with integrations, APIs, data structures, and enterprise systems

• Participate in application architecture and solution design

• Lead and contribute to Agile delivery activities, including requirements gathering, sprint planning, testing, and deployment

• Identify and resolve technical challenges throughout implementation

• Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Provide guidance and mentorship to consultants and other team members

• Help customers build the knowledge and capabilities needed to successfully manage and expand their solutions

• Build strong, trusted relationships with customers throughout the engagement

• Contribute to best practices and continuous improvement across the consulting organization

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who combines technical depth with strong consulting instincts.

You should be comfortable walking into a complex customer environment, asking thoughtful questions, understanding what is really happening beneath the surface, and translating that understanding into an executable technical solution.

Successful candidates will bring:

• Experience in technical consulting, enterprise software implementation, solutions consulting, or a similar client-facing technical role

• Experience delivering complex technology solutions from requirements through implementation

• Strong understanding of application development and enterprise technology concepts

• Experience working with APIs, integrations, data modeling, or relational databases

• Experience working within Agile or iterative delivery environments

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and workstreams

• Confidence communicating with technical teams, business stakeholders, and customer leadership

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to independently own deliverables while collaborating effectively across a broader team

• A track record of building credibility and trusted relationships with customers

Experience with low-code platforms, business process management (BPM), workflow automation, enterprise application platforms, or digital transformation initiatives is highly relevant.

Direct experience with the specific platform is helpful, but we are also interested in technically strong consultants coming from adjacent enterprise technology environments.

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

Technical capability matters, but this role requires more than knowing the technology.

The strongest candidates are people who can listen, diagnose, build, communicate, and lead.

You are someone who can move comfortably between a customer conversation and a technical problem. You understand that successful consulting means not only delivering the solution, but helping the customer understand why it works, how to use it, and how to continue building from it.

You bring curiosity, ownership, sound judgment, and a genuine commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience.
